Consistency Groups And Remote Replication
Although a virtual disk can belong to multiple consistency groups, you must create separate consistency groups for snapshot images and Remote Replication.
When a base virtual disk containing a consistency group is added to Remote Replication (non-legacy, asynchronous), the repository will automatically purge the oldest snapshot image and set the auto-delete limit to the maximum allowable snapshot limit for a consistency group.
Additionally, all member virtual disks belonging to both a snapshot consistency group and a Remote Replication group must belong to the same Remote Replication group.
